I like how this is shaping up. We sign Spikes to stuff the run but Kiko can still swing into MLB on third if they show run. We sign Graham as a CB, but will take a look at him as safety (since A. Williams can also play CB in a pinch). Now all we need is Mike Evans at #9, add 20 pounds of muscle and have him line up at TE or split out at WR. Versatility is the key to the NFL these days. I know, I know...quickness and big TE's is all the rage...well we have quickness and we can get a big TE (or morph Evans into a WR/TE) but I think the new buzzword will be "versatility" (players playing different roles effectively) and Marrone and company may very well be ahead of the curve on this.

I think the reason the contract is worth that money is because, regardless of where he plays, he's going to play a lot. As you know, it's a passing league, and guys that can cover will end up on the field one way or another.
